“I have tried Original Shawarma for the first time and I was disappointed. The guys were kind but the shawarma quantity was tiny and it was mainly a sandwich of bread. They put 2 loaves of bread in the same sandwich with only a few pieces of shawarma. I was chewing bread most of the time. It was my first and probably last time. Work harder on the portions as the taste was okay.”
